Some Laughs for the family

Pictures from the North Georgia Mountains

Holgar, I wanted to thank you for sharing the highlights of Tim's trip and the beautiful pictures.

I loved the "Short trip to France. What a great place to go. I can't imagine hiking past a castle. What fun. When you talk about going to France or Spain or Switzerland, etc. it sounds like such a long way and we forget that all of the countries are so close to each other.

Tom and I spent several days in the North Georgia mountains last week and the leaves are just beginning to turn. The Sourwood Trees are always the first to change color in the fall so I'm adding pictures so you can see "my mountains"

It was a rainy, drizzly day but I love to see the mist rising from the mountain. Our leaves will be in full color in about two to three weeks.

This is the view we get from our deck. We have an RV up there, I think you call it a caravan. It sits on 5 1/2 acres and we love it.

Please tell Katie hello for me and give Little Tim a big hug

Don't forget to post new pictures of Little Tim.

Oh, by the way, I enjoyed talking to you last week.

Hey Dad I felt that I needed to put this up here for you to see.

Love Ya Dad!

Short trip to France

Weather had not been gentle to us the last past days so we really thought wether to go to France or not. At least we would have missed something if we hadn’t gone. Weather was better than expected and we always found a shelter when it started raining. So the decision was right to go. Distance to our home was approx. 300 km and we arrived 3 km behind the German border at noon. We started our hike but unfortunately took the wrong way. At least we came where we wanted to go.


We had a nice lunch in a restaurant and big Tim absolutely wanted to take the check. So thanks again Tim for inviting us. After that we came to a place where we found a lot of boulders in the forrest. Some looked like people.



That part of the hike was absolutely amazing. We passed castle Fleckenstein on our right and came back to our car at approx 5:30. On our way back home we saw 8 rainbows(!!!) and we retured to Neunkirchen at 9:00 pm.

Today we were invited to Jo and Jeanette’s house. They prepared a very nice dinner with an appetizer of roasted nuts and after that, rolled ham with red cabbage and potatoe dumplings (where I ate 11 from – much too much). Little Tim broke the record by drinking 380 ml at one sitting. After 300 ml he started crying so Katie hurried up to give him more. Now we are at home again and will have something to drink as soon as we finish this post.

Time flew by and so will Tim – we will bring him to the airport tomorrow moring at 9:00 am. So the week is over and it seems to me that we just picked him up at the main station of Frankfurt yesterday. At least I think we had a great time and probably will meet again soon. In any way he’s always w e l c o m e!!!!
